I've watched a lot of the TH-cam barbers over the years, trying to self-learn how to cut, and one of my biggest issues has been fading. Although I learned a lot from the various barbers on here, for some reason after discovering your channel, something clicked, and blending finally makes sense. I appreciate you going out of your way to explain the little steps and habits you do, sometimes us amateur guys have questions on techniques that someone with experience, may forget to mention. Big ups to you man!
Chris, Fantastic step by step class in how to fade. I am a new Barber and am training at a Barber shop, the Barber is good but never explains anything. I have learned so much from you about Barbering, please keep up the great work! You may not realize how much you given me confidence to keep going, thanks! David
Great video man. I'm a15 year old barber tags really trying to get in the game and your videos have helped me so much. I appreciate what you do cause you do it well and with humbleness and that's what it's all about. Again thank you so much. Keep up the good work
also this guy has a passion for this so even if you have negative things to say its not like hes sitting here saying hes the master expert. but to me hes about as good as it gets a guy that knows what hes doing, continues to be open to learning and gives good customer consideration
That's tight! Been cutting my son's hair all his life (15 years). Now he wants a fade. I know I can't do it like you but I'm going to try. Good explanations....gave me a little confidence! THANKS 😎
2nd video I have watch today. You are a great teacher and excellent barber. Love the fact that you'er not afraid to share your knowledge with the world. Next time I hit Tampa I will try and stop in.
I got used to making 1st 0 guideline, then creating second guiding Open no guard and blend down from 2nd to 1st. I do this because it guarantees to not raise up line. I probably should switch up my game and started doing more fading up just to master more than 1 technique. Great tutorial though. Much appreciated for taking time... you’re one of the best barbers I’ve seen in skill, competency and literation. I’m inspired. God bless
hey mate u have inspired me big time i have started on my mates in my garage and i still have heavy hands but on top of that i still make a gr8 finish coz of the way u taught me and it always been a hobie of mine thanks alot for all ur effort i really appreciate it keep up the good work
Hey Chris hope you are well. I am a father of 3 boys from Chicago. I just subscribed to your TH-cam channel. I have been cutting my boys hair all of their life. In just a couple days since I subscribed to your channel I have learned so much. One area that I have never been able to stay consistent in cutting my kids hair is their lining. Is there a video that you address how to properly line up and if not could you make one addressing that issue. Thank you so much for your videos and inspiring young people to go after their dreams. I pray for continued blessings on your businesses. Joel
Nice vid. I know you like to switch it up and use different clippers/trimmers and whatnot, but a good ol fashion demonstration of a "typical" haircut with the Andis Masters is what I've been waiting on. Thanks again.
Bossio is on of the best barbers. ..but some guy's says he slow. ...fact is he is not slowly but he do it slowly to show us how it's work... I like your way u cutting. ... thanks a lot Bossio... The Arab Man/Palestine
Love the masters. My blends come out more detailed. I also like leaving the zero line for last that way I can knockout all my clean up work together with the zero line. Btw keep up with the content. Really enjoy the videos you put out with the masters. It really is the most detailed clipper once you really understand how to fade with them.
The pulling on hair with my t-outliners happened to me too....had to play with the tension and gap them again....thanks for the tutorial. Really helpful
brother this is Barber Alex I have to let you know that you have been my mentor for a while now, I can wait to meet you in person, I like your techniques and your style. for any chance you have videos of any blowout haircut? please let me know.
Usually when my blade starts pulling neck hair its a sign that my blade needs replacing. It can also happen with new blades due to a manufacturers defect.
Shear work videos or videos with people with lots of hair on top and short sides. Dope ass cuts.. You got me into barbering and trying to be the best I can be thank you!
Just got my hair butchered😔. I am a female wearing my hair tapered to a fade. It was so refreshing to watch your skills. Next time I go to a barber I know how it should be done properly.
Oster Fastfeeds with the detachable 1 blade swap = zero gapped! Could you also do a vid with the oster octanes again? I want to see you do a fade with detachables. Keep up the good content brotha.
Thanks once again. i just love the instructional videos you post homie. They have honestly helped me get better at my cuts. This is my passion and this is what i do to provide for my family. Thank you for the guidance bruh. God bless.
Barber use the balder but didn't go back to blend it. Pulling out doesn't blend it, it makes another line. U can't see it in the video or even be able to tell but client will know once it's grown out. Friendly tip- go back with the 0000 trimmer
I have a balding issue, so I mainly just get my beard done. If i'm lazy and don't feel like shaving, I let the barbers knock it down, then I go home and shave my head. However, this is the second video I seen on youtube 1st some guy used ez blade. I been getting cuts all over NC they don't use shave gel when doing beards. mostly you get a hot towel or rag on the face. sometimes you don't get that..
chris bossio what would you say if I request you to guide/supervise/instruct a new barber to do this kind of haircut? I mean; New barber with zero to very little experience on hair cutting.
yeah I made the mistake of not double checking to see if it was the prime or not... it was not. blades aren't too bad though. they're decently comfortable but still sharp. they definitely still get the job done. next order will be PRIME though for sure. LOL. another great vid bruh. stay blessed my man.
I never see barbers do this in videos but use someone with straight light brown hair with a mid to high bald fade with long hair on top. Long enough to have to use scissors on it if your cutting it at all
Would love to see u fade with the oyster fast feed with the same technique u been cutting lately .clean cut thou and so true about the scary part of the beard lineup
u body that goatee area and i do like the shaving cream, glide real nicely, doesn't dry out as quick as elegant.. ima try to do it the way you did it by just applying directly to skin then spread it out
Ive seen hella fade videos bruh! N this by far has been my cleanest fade yet... might b cause im high af n able to concentrate or my ADD took a day off .. Either way good shit pimpin -screwstone Tx.
i need to use my razor more i do alot of hot shaves but not alot of detail on the beard awesome cut and dame bro fire with them clippers and razors thanks for the video
your liners pulling? I think your clipper needs a bit more tension. my theory, I believe, is that the hair on the back of the neck is realy thin and fine(peach fuze), that it's getting in between the two blades and not allowing the blades to shear the strands of hair

Super fresh fade man! Yeah that shaver at the end does make a huge difference! Great video
Bro you're a master at fading!

Yoooo! Mad props B keep doing your thing, and if you could use them oster fast feeds that would be a good look for a lot of us i'm sure. Bless
Respect one of the best barbers on youtube
you can tell the fade is going to be really good in the middle of the video which is, comparatively, pretty impressive!
Fast feeds are the best bro. My top Clipper daily diver

+chris bossio master are to heavy I be wondering how u use it all day. U must got some debo forearms

I just learned a lot bro. thanks
+Ikey_ike94 “helmet” bash1994 glad to hear! Happy it helped
It really did thank you for the video
The pulling on hair with my t-outliners happened to me too....had to play with the tension and gap them again....thanks for the tutorial. Really helpful
Tighten the tension or loosen the tension?
Im still new to the barbering scene, im self tought tho been cutting for two years. Im learning alot from your videos, keep it up👌👌👌
You are a beast with the razor. Great video.
brother this is Barber Alex I have to let you know that you have been my mentor for a while now, I can wait to meet you in person, I like your techniques and your style. for any chance you have videos of any blowout haircut? please let me know.

Shear work videos or videos with people with lots of hair on top and short sides. Dope ass cuts.. You got me into barbering and trying to be the best I can be thank you!
When my outliners snag around the back I give them a quick spray with 5 and 1 and they run thru the hair. Great video stay blessed 🙏
I love the fading process of this Barber really...
Bossio the master!!! Nice n clean like all your videos...
thank you
Hit that video up, thanks my man for everything you do. much luv from the ZIA STATE.
Just got my hair butchered😔. I am a female wearing my hair tapered to a fade. It was so refreshing to watch your skills. Next time I go to a barber I know how it should be done properly.
im learning now for 4 - 5 months almost got it 100% in hands, every day learning something new.
btw good vid!
I vote for fast feeds! Also would be kinda cool with the ceramic blade swap as well.
Honestly man your videos help me out so much, I appreciate you! Keep the content coming !
Wish I could find a barber like this around my area.
xxBowman1 I gotchu
Oster Fastfeeds with the detachable 1 blade swap = zero gapped! Could you also do a vid with the oster octanes again? I want to see you do a fade with detachables. Keep up the good content brotha.
Chris bossio- Just purchased the "Tomb 45 shave Gel". Can't wait to try it out.
same
thank your brother i hope you like it !
that as dope thank you
This video was really helpful especially how you did his beard which I would love to see more of . A tutorial on different beard styles
you fade haircut looked good i like the line up you do to him
Shared it to my lil cousin that is going to barber school soon....Good shit man, wish you could cut my hair.
Man I feel you on doing beards like that. I struggle with it to. I've found that repetition will carry you. U have no choice but to get better.
Sup Chris i been watching your work for sometime now. I've learned a lot from you. Keep up the great work bro. God bless
Thanks once again. i just love the instructional videos you post homie. They have honestly helped me get better at my cuts. This is my passion and this is what i do to provide for my family. Thank you for the guidance bruh. God bless.
Damn 3 years ago and super tight work. Kudos
nice work big homie. I'm a novice and I use the andis masters xl and styliner m3. your tutorials are dope.... and helpful
great video man. you have to set your tension screw again that's why the blade is pulling
Super clean and very professional. I cut my kids hair. I use the masters. I can never get rid of the line of the number no guard to 0 guard.
phenom 1185 use your lining clippers everybody clippers ain't as sharp as his so that will work without a gaurd
You are definitely gifted bro. Keep up the good work
Barber use the balder but didn't go back to blend it. Pulling out doesn't blend it, it makes another line. U can't see it in the video or even be able to tell but client will know once it's grown out. Friendly tip- go back with the 0000 trimmer
Nice cut may man, good work, coming from the Seattle WA. Area.
I have a balding issue, so I mainly just get my beard done. If i'm lazy and don't feel like shaving, I let the barbers knock it down, then I go home and shave my head.

I been getting cuts all over NC they don't use shave gel when doing beards. mostly you get a hot towel or rag on the face. sometimes you don't get that..
Very nice hair style, i wish i could have that cut! You're good my man. Continue your great work.

Aye bro you know what your done man!! Thanks for showing me this young technique right here
very nice work chris. Excellent quality and precision. awesome editing and explanation. very clean and sharp haircut.👍👍👍Keep the videos coming.
How do I prevent making another line when I use the andis shaver? Am I pressing too hard on skin?
+Adrian Ortega yes probably pressing to hard or not flicking the shaver out low enough... going too high with it
chris bossio what would you say if I request you to guide/supervise/instruct a new barber to do this kind of haircut? I mean; New barber with zero to very little experience on hair cutting.
Record a low fade with long top if you ever cut hair like that
Yeah Fr!
you need to adjust the spring tension on the andis
It came out clean bro.
need to get me some tools soon.
Definitely Do The Next Cut With The Fast Feeds Bro Please
So clean! real barbering talent!
+Matt Plumb thanks man!
You did your thing brother haves mad skills!
Great tutorial, it helped alot. also maybe you should think of adding the guard sizes on the screen to help even more for us visual learners ^__^
Great Chriss...so helpfull even for experience barbers...keep doing this...Thanks !
same exact thing with the t outliners when they tug hair.. i just realigned the blade
hey bro when u have a chance upload a video on how to cut just the sides with a number 2 without doin anything to the top
Very clean very sharp..professional cut
yo you help me out a lot bro keep up the good work
yeah I made the mistake of not double checking to see if it was the prime or not... it was not. blades aren't too bad though. they're decently comfortable but still sharp. they definitely still get the job done. next order will be PRIME though for sure. LOL. another great vid bruh. stay blessed my man.
+Elliott Neblett I promise they don't compare to PRIME you'll be pleasantly surprised
chris bossio thank you sir for the heads up. all info is always appreciated.
Great cut Chris. Are you and the guys going to Bronner brothers next month?
I never see barbers do this in videos but use someone with straight light brown hair with a mid to high bald fade with long hair on top. Long enough to have to use scissors on it if your cutting it at all
i have a lot of videos like this
sick haircut Bravo !! @chrisbassio big shout out all the way from london uk
+Yasser Laghrib thx u London!
Love the tutorial. Thanks and great cut bruh.
Would love to see u fade with the oyster fast feed with the same technique u been cutting lately .clean cut thou and so true about the scary part of the beard lineup

David Garcia no clippers dull if clippers sharp shouldn't have a problem
I don't like the shape-up of front hair
BUT
the nape fade and the beard shape-up are perfect !
